Williams Advanced Engineering Group

Williams Advanced Engineering, now operating as Fortescue Zero, engineers and supplies high-performance battery systems, electrification solutions, and advanced vehicle technologies. The company designs proprietary smart batteries and integrated vehicle systems specifically developed to replace fossil fuels at scale, enabling significant decarbonization across heavy industrial applications and other demanding sectors. Their technical approach leverages deep expertise in power, thermal management, and lightweighting to deliver robust and efficient energy storage and delivery platforms.

Williams Advanced Engineering was established in 2010 as a distinct entity from Williams Grand Prix Engineering, the Formula One team founded by Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head. The founding insight was to extend the formidable engineering capabilities honed in elite motorsport, particularly in areas like aerodynamics, advanced materials, and energy recovery systems, into diverse commercial and industrial markets. This strategic diversification aimed to apply racing-derived innovation to real-world challenges.

Fortescue Zero’s solutions primarily serve industrial clients committed to aggressive decarbonization targets, including those within its parent company’s expansive operations. The company’s long-term vision centers on driving a global green industrial revolution by developing and deploying technologies that facilitate the complete elimination of emissions, thereby accelerating the transition to a sustainable, fossil-fuel-free future. Their focus remains on enabling "Real Zero" without relying on offsets.
